RYAN HESHKA
available artwork / archive
Country of Origin: Canada
Ryan Heshka unapologetically pays homage to Golden Era sci fi pulp while creating a style that is also uniquely his own. He explores themes of man vs nature, (even though often the "nature" is from another world) as well as the exploring the ideology of pushing the limits of science as a tool to help and further mankind, and the technological terrors that can be inadvertently unleashed as a result.

His newer series is also influenced by WW2 era propaganda posters, which demonized the enemy into an cartoonish and evil caricature. Is this case, the "enemy" really is an alien threat and deserving of such treatment!

His work is acrylic painted on wood panel, heavily varnished and embellished with tags cut from pulp magazines, which serve as inspiration and explanation of each piece.

Ryan Heshka will be exhibiting at Roq La Rue in October 2009. Please contact us to be placed on a preview list.
